A short list of new ideas for ways to use this. Send us yours and we’ll add them here!

  1. The font defaults to the United Sound colors. You can easily change them (to match Boomwhackers, for example).

  2. If you need just one student’s part to be different, “save as” and create a new file. The whole score has to be the same font.

Mac Users, the instructions that will come with the download files work just fine unless your computer is running macOS Catalina. If so, here’s the fix: Everything is fine until you get to Step 4, Launch Finale. Then you’ll get an error message that says "cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified.”

The solution is just: System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and enable the blocked app from Allow apps downloaded from pan at the bottom of the window.

PC Users, additional help might be found here: https://www.finalemusic.com/blog/default-files-document-styles-templates/ (The section under "Managing Customized Music Files" will be the most helpful on where to put these files.)
